Mill Creek Entertainment will be paying tribute to the late
Gene Wilder with a special double feature presentation that is being added to
its already busy Oct. 4 DVD and Blu-ray release calendar.
Movies are timeless and in what has proven to be a somewhat poignant
moment in time, Gene Wilder is teamed with the love of his life, Gilda Radner
in the 1982 comedy directed by Sidney Poitier, Hanky Panky. During the seven years that followed the
shooting of the film the two became inseparable … they would team once again
for Haunted
Honeymoon in 1989, the same year that cancer took her life. If the truth be known, he never fully
recovered from her passing.
The companion feature to Hanky Panky — in this
priced-to-own collectible (just $9.98 before discounts at retail) — teams Gene
Wilder with his friend Richard Pryor in the 1991 comedy, Another You. The two would appear together on screen on
four separate occasions — Silver Streak (1976), Stir
Crazy (1980) and See No Evil, Hear No Evil (1989).
Also added to the Oct. 4 release mix is a three-film (also
priced at just $9.98) Samuel L. Jackson Triple Feature
promotion. Included in the mix are director Bob Rafelson’s
2002 film, No Good Deed (co-starring Milla Jovovich); director Joe Roth’s
2006 detective thriller, Freedomland (with Julianne Moore);
and rounding out this trio of Samuel L. Jackson hits is the John Boorman 2004
film adaptation of the Antjie Krog novel, In My Country, which co-stars Juliette
Binoche.
